It's a terrible shame that Reddy Kilowatt has been banished from the utility industry. Fortunately, he lives on in cyberspace - Google him!

Here's Reddy in an advertisement from 1960: http://long-lines.net/other/electrical/ReddyNewMexico.html

That's interesting; I'd thought he'd disappeared much earlier.

I sure hope he's never replaced by one of these disgraceful symbols of eco-wimpiness:

Somewhere, in my physical archives, I have a Reddy Kilowatt pin that was awarded to me as part of going to the National 4-H Conference in Chicago, 1960 I think. My nomination and attendance was based on my 4-H activities in the "Electric Project".

Got a code book from my Dad too - buried in the same physical archive, along with the complete set of Audel's.
